JAKA describes the line as a system for quickly setting up humanoid working scenarios and for data collection and training by embodied AI teams.

What the JAKA K1 is
On JAKA's site the K1 sits under "Embodied Intelligent Robot" in the JAKA EI Robot line, alongside the JAKA Kargo robot, the JAKA Lumi training platform and the JAKA EVO industrial platform. The line is described as an immediate data acquisition and training system for rapidly setting up humanoid operation scenarios.
JAKA's text materials do not give the K1's height, weight, degrees of freedom or payload, so we do not list them. Product images were added to the site in September 2025.
Context: JAKA's humanoids
JAKA is also developing JAKA π, a lightweight, child-sized humanoid that debuted publicly in June 2026 and later competed at the 2026 World Humanoid Robot Games in Beijing. On embodied AI it works with Intel China (a commercialisation MoU) and Peking University (a joint lab). Its RoboHub controller, with a 12th-gen Intel CPU and EtherCAT, is built to run dual-arm robots.
